Baby baby

ZOE is beginning to talk.

She knows how to say quite a few words already, beyond 'Mama', 'Papa' and 'Tata' (for the Nanny).

Her favourite words for now are 'good', 'shoes', 'cheese', 'Mo' (for Elmo) and 'Neeeeeey' (for Barney).

Each day, a new word pops out and it amazes me how she is beginning to communicate.

Here's one instance:

At the end of a bath or after swimming, I always wrap Z up in a big white towel and carry her cradle style.

I will rock her and croon: "Baby baby", as if she is a teeny weeny baby being put to sleep all bundled up.

So yesterday when we went swimming, Z decided she had enough. She crawled out of the pool and walked to the towel cabinet nearby. She pointed to the towels and looked at me, saying: "Baby baby".

She wanted to be wrapped up in the towel.

Here's an old photo taken in July just after Z had a swim. She is on a sunbed with Grandpa "baby baby" style.
